New Ball spends majority of time pressed against the glass.

It looks like the thermometer probe I don't secure it (Thermostat probes MUST be secured) They move around some but if the thermometer is secured at either end with loose cable in between the snake can become tangled in it. A loose cable is just is pulled around. I don't like see 92º especially given the specs for the some accurites (+/-4ºF) I usually use 90º this accounts for the typical error of most thermometers (+/-2ºF) so if it is reading 90 it could be between 92-88ºF which is an acceptable range.

Hot melt works very well for securing all sorts of probes. I have never had a snake manage to move one in 2 years. The only problem is for me to remove them I usually use a heat gun to do so scraping them off I have damaged the probe they do not let go easily.

Try suction cups used for airlines in fish tanks.


Also, would anyone know if fish tank silicone would be a fine application here? Obviously take the snake out until the silicone is cured(24+ hrs).
